Shot using 4k ALEXA Mini cam­era tech­nol­o­gy and bespoke rigs, the film waspro­duced by Oscar-win­ning visu­al effects com­pa­ny, The Mill.

It begins with W.O. Bent­ley touch­ing an alu­mini­um paper­weight (the inspi­ra­tion for his rev­o­lu­tion­ary alu­mini­um pis­ton design) to a wall which then comes to life, tak­ing the view­er on an engag­ing jour­ney across Bentley’s near-cen­tu­ry of inno­va­tion and suc­cess.

The leg­endary Bent­ley Boys and Girls star, as do the Le Mans-win­ning ‘Blow­er’ and Speed 8, along­side Woolf Bar­na­to dur­ing his famous race against the ‘Blue Train’. The film is also inspired by the shapes, sur­faces and lux­u­ri­ous mate­ri­als that have made Bent­ley the endur­ing auto­mo­tive brand it is today.

Bentley’s Centenary – 100 Years of Extraordinary

In 1919 Wal­ter Owen (W.O.) Bent­ley cre­at­ed a com­pa­ny with a sim­ple objec­tive: to build “a fast car, a good car, the best in its class”. This guid­ing prin­ci­ple has dri­ven Bent­ley ever since, push­ing the brand for­ward and mak­ing it the leader in auto­mo­tive lux­u­ry around the world.

The 10th of July 2018 marks the start of Bentley’s 100th year and the count­down to the brand’s cen­te­nary in 2019. This extra­or­di­nary mile­stone – reached by only a spe­cial few com­pa­nies – will be a cause for cel­e­bra­tion of the company’s his­to­ry and its glob­al suc­cess today.
